Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) will not seek reelection to the Senate.
In a four-minute video, Manchin said he has “accomplished what I set out to do for West Virginia.” He now will be traveling “the country and speaking out to see if there is an interest in creating a movement to mobilize the middle and bring Americans together.
”This means that the West Virginia Senate seat will likely go to a Republican in 2024.
And this announcement will raise questions about whether Manchin will run for president as an independent.
